Spruce Creek Trailhead: Upper Crystal Lake and Lower Crystal Lake

Summit County - Eagle County - Clear Creek County

The Crystal Lakes are located south of Breckenridge at the head of a large glacial valley in the Ten Mile Range. Lower Crystal Lake occupies a shallow basin in a wide berth midway up the Crystal Creek drainage, and Upper Crystal Lake is located 1.9 miles and 900' up in a high-walled cirque carved from the slopes of Father Dyer Peak (13,615') and Crystal Peak (13,852').
